| Comments: |
No views, but the snow on the trees and rocks was great. As per usual we met some fine people (only a dozen). Used spikes most of the way and put snowshoes on at Liberty summit and kept them on to Flume and back down a bit past the tent sites. Of course tomorrow's snow will change all of these conditions so bring your snowshoes. |
